Vincent Bugliosi, the prosecutor who won the conviction of Charles Manson, wants to try George W. Bush in criminal court for the murder of 4000 people, in his new book The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder.
I think that is a fine idea. Everyone should sue the President of the United States (POTUS). I would like to expand on the notion, and suggest that as many people as possible file civil lawsuits seeking damages for what this president has done to us as individual Americans.
I have suffered real anguish over our loss of national esteem. I have suffered real embarrassment, shame, and/or humiliation due to this man's policies, speeches, and pandering. I have suffered financial loss through his incompetence, from his giveaways to the rich and powerful, and from the ridiculously high level of war profiteering and official corruption associated with the "war" in Iraq.
I can't put a price tag on the erosion of my rights, from loss of habeas corpus to the agony of not knowing if my phone is tapped, but I would be willing to try!
